Palisades Center Rides, West Nyack, NY

The Palisades Center Mall in West Nyack, NY (also Clarkstown, NY which must be some kind of subdivision of West Nyack), is a fairly large mall with four stories and several flagship stores including two children’s rides that delight the children, a large ferris wheel and a double decker Merry-Go-Round.

State Line Marina

In this photo we see the state line between NY and NJ between West Milford and Greenwood Lake, to the left is NJ (State Line Marina) and to the right, the property on the other side is a private property on the NY side. I'm pretty sure the fence isn't directly on the line, and its hardly official, but the two adjoining properties are in different states.

Port Jervis, NY the historic Erie RR Turnaround

Who can resist trains? Who can resist the history of trains? Well, apparently we couldn't on May 10th, 2012. Here we have what is called a train turnaround, a locomotive enters a piece of railway that turns and then connects to other rails where the ability to curve the rail does not exist.

Below you see the locomotive detaching from the train that it was pulling and entering the turnaround.

In this picture you can see how the tracks would turn and then meet up with other sets of tracks.

In this photo I am focusing on the gear mechanism that made the turnaround turn.

This was a popular mode for people to go on vacations a long time ago, train schedules showed a 2 hour trip time from Chambers Street in NY.

Below I took another picture of the train bearing the words 'Radio Equipped' - high tech for back in the day!

Tri-State Monument - NY/NJ/PA - New Jersey's Northernmost Point

Here are the pictures taken at the tri-state monument delineating the state line between NY, NJ and PA. It is NJ’s northernmost point, the ‘northwest corner’ - It is not a geographic extremity of either PA or NY. It lies, basically at the confluence of the Delaware River and the Neversink River in the shadow of I-84.

This spot holds the most interest for people who reside in NJ. Interestingly to access this point, the only real way to get there is to cross into NY, cross the Neversink River and go through the Laurel Grove Cemetery, park the car and walk to the monument.

The monument itself,

Below, I-84, in this picture I am looking west, I am in NY and am looking towards the PA side of the Delaware River.

Looking back across the Neversink River.

In the below picture we see the Tri-State monument in the context of the confluence of the Delaware and Neversink Rivers. You can see that it does appear to be decidedly mid-river.

Below is a previously placed memorial marker which is actually under I-84 and which would make you believe that I-84 actually clips NJ. It does not, the marker clearly gives directions for finding the mid-river point. When this was placed, this monument was possibly the closest point on land to the actual point.

Same monument from the other side, instead of NJ, we see NY.

This is the official mark, looking down. The lines demarking the actual line between the states.

The obligatory picture of some portion of your body being in three states simultaneously.  I hope I didn't commit a crime otherwise I am in some serious trouble (subject to prosecution in three jurisdictions)


Here is a panorama of the area with the monument. Beautiful location.
